details & specs

The Model 93 represents the pinnacle of rimfire performance as interpreted by Savage Arms. Savage has known this for over a century and continues to improve and expand on this great rifle series. This rear-locking, cock on opening Model 63 action features dual extractors and a fixed blade ejector. Cartridges are fed from a removable 5-round box magazine. The two-position safety is located immediately behind the bolt handle at the right rear of the action. Blued barrel on a walnut stock.

This rifle was a small present to myself one day when I had little to do.The reason I picked it over several other brands was the feel of the rifle.Several .22 rifles I picked up were so light I thought they were toys. I immediately called the factory and bought four extra magazines. The open iron sights are not that accurate so I bought a CENTERPOINT 4x16x40mm. scope and mounted it. It is a little top heavy now,but it is a solid tack driver at 50-100 yds.. The biggest con I have with it other than the cheap sights is it is a bear to clean. I like to clean all my firearms each time I fire them. I know some say clean the rimfires once every February 29th.,but I have to know my weapons are clean and functional. I run a little powder buster spray and a few patches through the barrel and just break it down about once per year. I have had it for about 3 yrs. now with no problems at all. I have sort of slowed down on .22s since I have bought a .17 HMR. I still go after tin cans with the .22 every once in a while.
